I like to use various method books since I believe every single one of them provide different pedagogical aspects. Depending on the style, genre that the student wants to learn, I make sure they have enough resources to practice themselves in their own home. For children, I try to keep it as light and fun so they won't burnout over the long journey of learning music. For teenagers and young adults I like to show the possibilities of the instrument and where they can be with persistence and for adults I'd like to guide and help them to find what they like the most and enjoy learning and playing.

I create play-along videos, so that kids have something specific to practice at home. I use "Read this First" as a note reading book. Students play along with me and also by themselves at lessons. Eventually kids can gather together and play as a group if they wish to do so. I start with memorization, and easy ways of writing down the songs... and eventually kids will learn to read music, after they've secured a basic technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
More than anything music should be fun. The greatest musicians are the ones who enjoy playing music even when they're just practicing. I like to teach in a way that involves asking the student questions in order to get them to figure out the answer for themself, rather than just lecturing the whole time while they start daydreaming! This way the student is more involved in the learning process and it can make their time spent learning an instrument more worth it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I am passionate about my students and about music. From the outset of working with music students I emphasize the importance of good posture and handling of their instrument, good breathing technique, good embouchure, and regular practice in order to develop strong embouchure and technique and knowledge of their instrument. I love teaching! Whether it is music, dance, math, or anything else I may find myself teaching, I give my all to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
In those institutes I taught applied music, theories and solfege. In 2011 I came to U.S. and I started teaching at Faith Lutheran Academy of Music, and I also gave private lessons at students' homes. I have found from my experience from Baghdad, Lebanon, and now U.S. that so many methods and approaches can be used in music. For instance, a student might not show any interest in classical music but with certain way of teaching that music and choosing the right piece for the right person, I might change the feeling the student has.

Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon
I have always had an eclectic love for all things music, and enthusiastically share it with anyone who will have me! There was a piano in my house growing up and I couldn't stay away. In school, I studied oboe and bassoon. Eventually I just explored any instrument that caught my interest- guitar, trumpet, ocarinas, panflutes, etc. I spent a lot of time doing musical theatre, and studied voice for a time as well.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My own father handed me a guitar when I was 8 years old and taught me my first chords -- this set me up for a lifetime of passionate musicianship and music study. I appreciated the fact that my father never pushed me, but only taught me what I wanted and needed to learn at the time. I have taken this principle with me into my own instruction style, where I guide the student based on their own personal interests and passions, never trying to force anything that they don't honestly care about.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the hundreds of compositions I've written, many of which haven't been recorded, many of which have -- when listening to them, I realize how important my childhood musical instruction was to my future as a player -- all of the chord voicings and musical styles I learned have come into play as I've traveled along this journey as a composer and performer. It makes me proud to know that I've shaped so many experiences with my abilities!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose guitar as my primary instrument because it feels very intimate to me, the way I can hold it in my lap and in my arms, and I can feel it resonating on my tummy as the strings buzz while I play -- it's a very deep connection! Also, it's easy to travel with, I can usually take a guitar anywhere, which is great because I never know when there's going to be an opportunity for me to play!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows any interest in music, a particular musical instrument, or explicitly states that they want to learn, it is time for them to start! It's easy for a child to pick up an instrument, as their brains are still in a period of extraordinary expansion and development -- learning an instrument will help them not only become musicians, but will also teach them the essential virtues of patience, practice, and commitment, setting them up for a more successful adulthood!
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on how often a student practices -- if they don't practice, you may never see results. However, if they practice for at least a half an hour every day, results can start to be seen within a week or two! This development can be extremely exciting for a new student and their loved ones, as the fruit of their labor will show in amazing and inspiring ways, which will make them want to continue to learn and grow!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To practice effectively, I believe musicians must set a daily practice schedule, whether it is 30 minutes or 4 hours -- this daily commitment will greatly improve results, growth and fluency on our instrument. I also believe practice must involve rudiments (practicing chord structures, scales, etc.), but also must be balanced a period of "freestyle" playing, where we allow our imaginations to guide us freely; this deepens our intimacy with the instrument and develops our own personal style!
